Department of Industrial & Production Engineering

Industrial and Production Engineering is one of the promising engineering departments with lot of potentiality, which aims to produce potential IPE graduates and to serve the nation. Bangladesh is a rising country in the world economy with rapid growth in the industrial sector. However, there is lack of efficient engineers in the industries and companies which lead to waste of huge labor force and the valuable resources of the country. If the systems and processes could be optimized considering all the resources and surroundings, then it would be possible to achieve prosperity with a more greener and livable world with less entropy and wastage. The knowledge of the industrial engineers can contribute to formulate or optimize a process or a system which will provide the expected output with less environmental chaos. The purpose of the IPE department at DUET is to produce smart and knowledgeable industrial engineers with leadership quality who will be capable to cope up with the world’s latest technologies and systems in our national industries and to create an environment of innovation with enough research facilities to solve the industrial problems existing in factories and organizations with sophisticated solutions.

Graduate Career Options

The latest trend of the industries and organizations is to optimize the output of the production or service with eco-friendly attitude which only can be achieved and ensured only by the industrial engineers. The IPE engineers have to gain the knowledge of social science, health hazards, industrial safety, human factors along with engineering learning’s which provide them many options and possibilities in the job sectors to flourish their skill and creativity such as manufacturing, production engineering, product design, automated system design that includes job and process design, plant scheduling, supply chain management which deals with all information flows regarding the production of the products or services, vendor or supplier selection and procurement, etc.. IPE graduates also have to deal with operation management, inventory control, quality control, and productivity control related works. Moreover, there are some emerging sectors such as hospital, universities research sectors, industrial Research & Development departments, theme parks, and various training organizations which provide excellent career opportunities. IPE graduates are capable of dealing with activities where both managerial and technical skills are required. As a result, they can create their positions at any kind of organizations promisingly.
